BREAKING: THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF BIAFRA (IPOB) IS NOT A PROSCRIBED ORGANIZATION IN THE UK

Uk in Nigeria has issued a statement denying that IPOB has been added to the UK's list of terrorist groups banned under UK law.

The British High Commission explained that the inaccurate reporting relates to the April 13, 2022 publication by the UK Government of a revised Country Policy and Information note (CPIN) on separatist groups in South-East Nigeria, including IPOB.

In a statement by Atinuke Akande-Alegbe, a BHC spokesperson, the UK government said "all asylum and human rights claims made in the UK are considered on their individual facts in accordance with our obligations under the UN Refugee Convention and European Convention on Human Rights, taking into account relevant background country information and case law".

The high commission added that IPOB members who have committed violent crimes in Nigeria will not be granted asylum.
